Product Description

When Ben Harper is taken to the gallows for a bank robbery killing, he leaves his young children to hide the stolen money. Shortly after, a stranger comes to town, claiming to know their father. It soon becomes clear that he has a dark purpose. David Grubb's haunting masterpiece flows through the Depression-era landscape with the lyrical magic of a fairy tale as the children flee their malevolent hunter to a terrifying end. The Night of the Hunter was adapted for the screen in 1954, the year after its original publication. Directed by Charles Laughton and starring Robert Mitchum, it is regarded as one of Hollywood's finest films of the fifties.
